Abusing the Ryobi 1.8gpm pressure washer
Gotta say I'm impressed. I live in a situation where I don't have access to a traditional hose spout. I've been using a no name Amazon bucket pressure washer for years and it's finally giving up the ghost. So I decided to go with the Ryobi 1.8.
After thinking about how I could use a regular pressure washer I came up with the idea to splice into the water line under the sink. This setup pushes the unit to its limit but it handles it like a champ. I have it coming off a 3/8 compression dishwasher line to 3/8 to garden hose and then a rv water splitter to 50 foot flex 5/8 rv hose.its janky as all but it works.
As for the unit I bought a 50 foot uberflex and a 8$ swivel to make the Ryobi gun usable. Also ordered some cheap quick connections.The foam cannon is some Amazon special I bought years ago with a 1.1mm oriface that wouldn't work on the bucket pressure washer gun.
The unit only really bogs down when using the foam gun on the max setting. It gets shampoo like foam but you can hear the unit struggle to spin up.
This thing makes washing the car so much faster than hauling out 5 gallon buckets of water and worrying about battery runtime.
